Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrea Nocco is a Software Test Infrastructure Engineer with 11 years of experience blending physics, mathematics and computer science to build reliable test systems and instrument automation. Based in the Zürich area, she brings hands-on expertise in back-end development and instrument driver work—contributing drivers and waveform/data fixes to Microsoft's widely used QCoDeS data acquisition framework. Her background spans R&D roles in sensor innovation and theoretical physics, plus full-stack development, giving her a rare mix of experimental lab insight and production-grade software engineering. She excels at turning complex measurement hardware behaviors into robust, automatable software, and often uncovers subtle data-format and waveform issues that improve long-term testability.
